Supplier diversity

Working with diverse suppliers, vendors, and business partners helps improve our competitive edge in the global marketplace and contributes to our strategic objectives.

In all bidding opportunities we strive to consider businesses owned, controlled, and operated by diverse individuals, including women, people of color, veterans, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals with different abilities. Our supplier diversity program provides criteria and eligibility requirements for diverse suppliers in the U.S. interested in doing business with us.

Our goal

To create greater economic impact and growth opportunities for diverse suppliers, we aim to spend $100M with diverse suppliers in the U.S. by 2025.

Supply chain management

We are mindful of our impact on the world, and the role our supply chain plays in this. By integrating sustainability considerations into our procurement processes, we’re gaining more transparency to help mitigate business risks and create positive change through our value chain.

We expect all suppliers, vendors, and businesses we do business with to comply with our Global Supplier Code of Conduct, and/or our Global Code of Conduct.
